"Very happy with the outcome. We were dreading this job as we have extensive plantings around the entire perimeter of our home. A tear-off and roof replacement is by definition a very messy job. The crew did a great job protecting and respecting our numerous plantings -- thus we had minimal damage. They spent significant extra effort to haul all the debris across the roof to small landing spot in front. Not the cheapest bid but we are happy we went with this boutique roofing -- quality materials and crew"

"I hired Infinity Exteriors to replace gutters and downspouts on my home, and install heating coils to one area of the roof. Prior to the work the office staff called me and provided updates on when the crews would arrive. The crews that did the work were very professional and did a great job!"

"We just had our roof replaced by Berg, and the crew did a fantastic job. Complete tear-off of the old roof, some decking replaced, all new flashing, new vents, new attic fan. Professional crew, clean-up was thorough. Nick was our representative, he oversaw the entire project and kept us informed of what the crew was doing. I would absolutely recommend Berg Great company, great product, great installation process. We're very pleased!"

"I couldn't be happier! The guys at Rapid Response were very thorough and fast replacing my roof, and they did an excellent job cleaning up the debris all around the house before they left. I am very pleased and will be hiring them again for siding next spring!"

"<p>After receiving a number of estimates, Titan's price was competitive, in the mid-range of estimates.  However, we ultimately chose Titan because of their sales rep Tim Nilles.  </p> <p>Tim's roofing experience offered the knowledge we needed in solving some longstanding roofing concerns. His genuine interest in quality products and workmanship was evidenced both by the product selection offered and by his final inspection of the work performed. Tim's enthusiastic approach is refreshing, and his flexibility allowed for a relaxed experience in choosing the contracted services. </p> <p>Tim shined in his explanations, in his fairness, and in his unique ability to treat our home like it was his own. </p> <p>Despite tackling multiple estimates every day, Tim was never bored nor condescending with our questions. He remained focused and accessible to our concerns. When the roof deck tear-off indicated baffles were required, or a discussion about more roof vents arose, Tim explained our options and prices. </p> <p>The job required about 4000 sq. ft. of shingling, and the work crew of 7 was on-time, worked efficiently and finished the task in two days, ahead of schedule. Although Titan is an accredited installer of GAF Timberline shingles, we chose the Owens-Corning Duration shingles, for their added strength and the warm brown tone of the Desert Tan color. </p> <p>The new roofing on the farmhouse and garage look spectacular, complimenting the stone fireplace, the flagstone walks, and garden edging. Thank you Titan, and thank you Tim. </p>"

"They did amazing work, helped me jump a car with a dead battery to get it out of the way, and were able to do my whole roof in one day. They also cleaned up after themselves making sure nothing was left behind and that there were no old nails or debris anywhere."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Crystal Lake, IL

A slate roof features thin tiles of natural stone installed over a solid deck and underlayment. Formed under intense heat and pressure, slate is exceptionally durable and delivers a distinctive, high-end look. Because the material weighs far more than asphalt, most homes need added structural support before installation. 

While upfront costs are higher and routine inspections are a must, many homeowners choose slate for its unmatched longevity and curb appeal.

Slate stands out for its 50- to 200-year life span, low maintenance, and classic aesthetic. It’s fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and often boosts resale value. 

On the flip side, slate runs far more per square foot than asphalt, weighs up to four times as much, and demands a contractor who specializes in the material. Tiles can crack on impact, and repairs cost more because the work is slow and precise. If your budget and structure can handle it, slate delivers top-tier performance for generations.

Natural and synthetic slate aim for a premium, stone-like appearance, whereas asphalt focuses on affordability. Real slate runs $10 to $30 per square foot installed and lasts up to 200 years; synthetic slate costs $10 to $15 and tops out at 50 to 100 years. 

Standard asphalt averages $3 to $8 per square foot and needs replacement every 20 to 30 years. If you want the slate look without the full price tag—or extra roof weight—synthetic is a solid middle ground.

With routine inspections and prompt repairs, a natural slate roof can last well beyond 100 years; some hard-slate installations reach the 200-year mark. Soft slate falls in the 50- to 125-year range, and synthetic products last 50 to 100 years. 

Remember, flashing, fasteners, and the underlying structure may need attention sooner than the stone itself. Severe hail or fallen limbs can also shorten life span, so schedule periodic checkups with a slate-qualified roofer.

If you plan to stay in your home long term—or want a standout selling point—slate delivers strong value. Although installation costs are high, owners often recoup 60% to 70% at resale and enjoy lower replacement cycles than asphalt. The stone’s durability, energy efficiency, and timeless curb appeal also appeal to eco-conscious buyers because fewer roofs end up in landfills. Just be sure your framing can handle the weight and that you budget for occasional specialty repairs.

Skip the DIY climb if you have a slate roof. Slate may be tough against the weather, but a single misplaced step can crack a tile and create a leak path. The surface also turns slick when wet, upping the risk of injury. Professional crews use staging and hook ladders that spread weight across multiple slates, protecting both the roof and the worker. To inspect or repair slate, call a roofer who specializes in the material.
